What we’re about

Welcome to this new group the 'Arts and Chats' meetup!

If you're looking to unwind, tap into your creative side, and meet like-minded individuals, this is the perfect place for you. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just want to explore drawing, sketching, painting, or other crafts in a relaxed, non-judgmental setting, you'll find a friendly community here to support and inspire you.

Our meetups are not classes—this is a space for practicing and creating without any pressure. You’re welcome to bring your own projects and materials, and if you’d like, you can ask fellow participants for tips or get inspiration from what others are working on. We sit together, chat, and enjoy the creative process, but everyone does their own thing. There’s no pressure to work on the same art forms as anyone else—just bring what you want to work on, and join in the communal artsy vibes!

We will attempt to hold two different types of events each month (weather permitting):

Outdoor Art Meetups (on a weekend day once a month): Weather permitting, we’ll gather in scenic outdoor spots (parks, coastlines, etc.) to sketch, paint, and craft ourdoors. Bring your own pillow and materials! Snacks and drinks encouraged for painting picnic vibes :) It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy some fresh air while creating art.

Indoor Art Sessions: We’ll also gather indoors for a cozy 'dry art' session. These are focused on dry arts and crafts like drawing, sketching, pastels, knitting, etc. No paint mess here—just relaxed creativity!

Whether you’re here to practice, experiment, or just enjoy the process, this is a welcoming space for all skill levels. Grab your coffee, bring your art supplies, and let’s create something beautiful together!

I'm in the process of finding a venue for the indoors version - PM me if you've any ideas!
